Lot Of Nemesis

The Lot of Nemesis is one of the seven Hermetic lots and is associated with Saturn. It is not a body but a calculated point, traditionally drawn from the Ascendant together with the position of Saturn and the Lot of Fortune. It represents the hidden and the fated, the reckonings, downfalls, and concealed forces that come due over a life, where what has been buried eventually surfaces and accounts are settled. By sign, the Lot of Nemesis describes the style of a person's reckonings and how they meet what is hidden or unavoidable. By house, it shows the area of life where fate weighs most heavily, where loss, limitation, or the consequences of the past are most likely felt. It often marks where a person encounters the shadow side of their circumstances. In traditional astrology Nemesis is built from the Lot of Fortune and carries the saturnine themes of endings, the underworld, and what is concealed beneath the surface. Its calculation is reversed between day and night charts. The work of the Lot of Nemesis is to face what has been hidden or avoided, to meet hard consequences with honesty, and to find meaning in the limits and reckonings that cannot be escaped.
